Well here it is June 2 and I'm setting in Mountain Harbour B&B in Roan Mountain, Tn. I could be in the barn with other hikers sleeping over a horse stable with all the results not cleaned up for a while but chose a room. It's not that I don't want to be with them but after a 593 mile hike so far that has and is taken a toll on this old body I decided I deserved a treat.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and how great it will be to finally be home. I found myself stretching the miles each day and thus wearing myself down even more. So no more, I'm going to enjoy the last 9 to 10 days and enjoy what I have seen, travel and the people I have met.
I even met a guy (Wallet) that I hiked with last year at the shelter last night. We both left the trail about the same time and even though we started at different places our paths crossed again. It's really amazing how many times this happens out here.
The B&B has a buffet all you can eat breakfast and I'm ready. I really can eat what would be 2 meals before and not be full. This is something that I will have to watch when I get home. I don't want to put all the weight back on (around 20 lbs now) so anyone with ideas let me know. My belt that was about 6 inches too long is now nearing 10 inches.
The hiking has been more enjoyable lately as the scenery has improved and I know it's coming to a end. Roan mountain is supposed to be beautiful and that's next. I'm sleeping better (almost all night ) which starts you day off better. Just as my routine has become set I'll be starting another one.
I see hikers now that are hitting the wall and will soon have to decide what to do. I feel qualify to share with them having gone through the same last year. It also allows me to share the Lord and how wonderful it is to be a Christian. There are so many that are lost and really don't understand what it means to be a Christian. Please pray for miracles as that's what it's going to take.
This could be my last post until I get home as I hoping to make Hot Springs before I need to resupply. Keep praying because I see God's hand protecting me everyday.
Sewing seeds,
Meekness
